A modern, shiny backdrop for any spot at your wedding that needs a little pizzazz. Instead of hanging tassel garlands as is, create a contemporary DIY backdrop by taking them off the string and taping up with washi tape. The fun diagonal of colors creates an instant photo opportunity at your wedding. Use this concept for a table backdrop or make it large for a photo booth backdrop.

To make this diagonal pattern: start with the black tassels. Make one big diagonal stripe out of the black tassels. Next, move down the wall and tape on a diagonal stripe of the silver tassels directly underneath the black ones. Continue to move down the wall adding diagonal stripes of each color.
